On this episode of the New Statesman's new culture podcast, The Back Half, Tom Gatti and Kate Mossman discuss the Trump-esque sensibilities of classic film noir. Then they talk about their trip to see the new Brass Eye documentary Oxide Ghosts, and finally they celebrate the noniversary of that iconic shoe, the Reebok Pump.
